The present disclosure is generally directed to antiviral compounds, andmore specifically directed to compounds which can inhibit the functionof the NS5A protein encoded by Hepatitis C virus (HCV), compositionscomprising such compounds, and methods for inhibiting the function ofthe NS5A protein.

HCV is a major human pathogen, infecting an estimated 170 millionpersons worldwide—roughly five times the number infected by humanimmunodeficiency virus type 1. A substantial fraction of these HCVinfected individuals develop serious progressive liver disease,including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Presently, the most effective HCV therapy employs a combination ofalpha-interferon and ribavirin, leading to sustained efficacy in 40% ofpatients. Recent clinical results demonstrate that pegylatedalpha-interferon is superior to unmodified alpha-interferon asmonotherapy. However, even with experimental therapeutic regimensinvolving combinations of pegylated alpha-interferon and ribavirin, asubstantial fraction of patients do not have a sustained reduction inviral load. Thus, there is a clear and long-felt need to developeffective therapeutics for treatment of HCV infection.

HCV is a positive-stranded RNA virus. Based on a comparison of thededuced amino acid sequence and the extensive similarity in the 5′untranslated region, HCV has been classified as a separate genus in theFlaviviridae family. All members of the Flaviviridae family haveenveloped virions that contain a positive stranded RNA genome encodingall known virus-specific proteins via translation of a single,uninterrupted, open reading frame.

Considerable heterogeneity is found within the nucleotide and encodedamino acid sequence throughout the HCV genome. At least six majorgenotypes have been characterized, and more than 50 subtypes have beendescribed. The major genotypes of HCV differ in their distributionworldwide, and the clinical significance of the genetic heterogeneity ofHCV remains elusive despite numerous studies of the possible effect ofgenotypes on pathogenesis and therapy.

The single strand HCV RNA genome is approximately 9500 nucleotides inlength and has a single open reading frame (ORF) encoding a single largepolyprotein of about 3000 amino acids. In infected cells, thispolyprotein is cleaved at multiple sites by cellular and viral proteasesto produce the structural and non-structural (NS) proteins. In the caseof HCV, the generation of mature non-structural proteins (NS2, NS3,NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B) is effected by two viral proteases. Thefirst one is believed to be a metalloprotease and cleaves at the NS2-NS3junction; the second one is a serine protease contained within theN-terminal region of NS3 (also referred to herein as NS3 protease) andmediates all the subsequent cleavages downstream of NS3, both in cis, atthe NS3-NS4A cleavage site, and in trans, for the remaining NS4A-NS4B,NS4B-NS5A, NS5A-NS5B sites. The NS4A protein appears to serve multiplefunctions, acting as a cofactor for the NS3 protease and possiblyassisting in the membrane localization of NS3 and other viral replicasecomponents. The complex formation of the NS3 protein with NS4A seemsnecessary to the processing events, enhancing the proteolytic efficiencyat all of the sites. The NS3 protein also exhibits nucleosidetriphosphatase and RNA helicase activities. NS5B (also referred toherein as HCV polymerase) is a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that isinvolved in the replication of HCV.

Compounds useful for treating HCV-infected patients are desired whichselectively inhibit HCV viral replication. In particular, compoundswhich are effective to inhibit the function of the NS5A protein aredesired. The HCV NS5A protein is described, for example, in Tan, S.-L.,Katzel, M. G. Virology 2001, 284, 1-12; and in Park, K.-J.; Choi, S.-H,J. Biological Chemistry 2003.

The variables are as defined above unlessotherwise noted below.

Scheme 1: Symmetric or Asymmetric Biphenyls

Aryl halide 1 and boronic ester 2 can be coupled to produce biaryl 3using standard Suzuki-Miayura coupling conditions (Angew Chem. Int. Ed.Engl 2001, 40, 4544). It should be noted that the boronic acid analog of2 may be used in place of the ester. Mono-deprotection of thepyrrolidine moiety may be accomplished when R¹² and R¹³ are different.When R¹²=benzyl, and R¹³=t-butyl treatment to hydrogenolytic conditionsproduces 4. For example, Pd/C catalyst in the presence of a base such aspotassium carbonate can be used. Acylation of 4 can be accomplishedunder standard acylation conditions. A coupling reagent such as HATU incombination with an amine base such as Hunig's base can be used in thisregard. Alternatively, 4 may be reacted with an isocyanate or carbamoylchloride to provide compounds of formula 5 where R⁹ is an amine. Furtherdeprotection of 5 can be accomplished by treatment with strong acid suchas HCl or trifluoroacetic acid. Standard conditions analogous to thoseused to convert 4 to 5 can be used to prepare 7 from 6. In anotherembodiment where R¹²═R¹³=t-Bu, direct conversion to 8 can beaccomplished by treatment of 3 with strong acid such as HCl ortrifluoroacetic acid. Conversion of 8 to 7 is accomplished in analogousfashion to the methods used to prepare 5 from 4 or 7 from 6. In thisinstance however, the caps in 7 will be identical.

Scheme 2: Asymmetrically Capped Biphenyls

Conversion of 6 (from Scheme 1) to 10 can be done using standard amidecoupling conditions such as HATU with an amine base, such as Hunig'sbase. Deprotection can be accomplished with strong acid such as HCl ortrifluoroacetic acid affording 11. Compound 11 can then be converted to12, 13, or 14 using an acid chloride, an isocyanate or carbamoylchloride, or a chloroformate respectively.

Scheme 3: Symmetric Cap Elaborated Biphenyls

Compound 15 (15=7 (Scheme 1) wherein each R⁹ is —CH(NHBoc)R¹⁸) can beconverted to 16 via treatment with strong acid such as HCl ortrifluoroacetic acid. Compounds 17, 18, and 19 can be prepared from 16by treating 16 with an appropriate chloroformate, isocyanate orcarbamoyl chloride, or an acid chloride respectively.

Scheme 4: Symmetric Biphenyls

Symmetrical biphenyl analogs (compounds of formula 7 where both halvesof the molecule are equivalent) can be synthesized starting frombromoketone 20. Amination by displacement with a nucleophile such asazide, phthalimide or preferably sodium diformylamide (Yinglin andHongwen, Synthesis 1990, 122) followed by deprotection affords 21.Condensation under standard amination conditions such as HATU andHunig's base with an appropriately protected amino acid provides 22.Heating with ammonium acetate under thermal or microwave conditionsresults in the formation of 3 which can be deprotected with strong acidsuch as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid (R¹²═R¹³=t-Bu) or by hydrogenolysiswith hydrogen gas and a transition metal catalyst such asPd/C(R¹²═R¹³=benzyl). Acylation can be affected with a carboxylic acid(R⁹CO₂H) in a manner similar to the conversion of 21 to 22. Ureaformation can be accomplished by treatment with an appropriateisocycante (R⁹═R²⁴R²⁵N; R²⁵═H) or carbamoyl chloride (R⁹═R²⁴R²⁵N; R²⁵other than hydrogen).

Scheme 5: Starting Materials 25 and 2

Keyintermediate 25 (analogous to 1 in Scheme 1) is prepared from keto-amide24 or keto-ester 27 via heating with ammonium acetate under thermal ormicrowave conditions. Keto-amide 24 can be prepared from 23 viacondensation with an appropriate cyclic or acyclic amino acid understandard amide formation conditions. Bromide 26 can give rise to 23 bytreatment with a nucleophile such as azide, phthalimide or sodiumdiformylamide (Synthesis 1990, 122) followed by deprotection. Bromide 26can also be converted to 27 by reacting with an appropriate cyclic oracyclic N-protected amino acid in the presence of base such as potassiumcarbonate or sodium bicarbonate. Bromination of 28 with a source ofbromonium ion such as bromine, NBS, or CBr₄ results in the formation of26. Bromide 25 can be converted to boronic ester 2 via treatment withbis-pinacalotodiboron under palladium catalysis according to the methoddescribed in Journal of Organic Chemistry 1995, 60, 7508, or variationsthereof.

Bromoimidazole 31 can be obtained by brominating imidazole 30with a source of bromonium ion such as bromine, CBr₄, orN-bromosuccinimide. Imidazole 30 can be prepared from N-protected aminoacids which are appropriately substituted by reacting with glyoxal in amethanolic solution of ammonium hydroxide.

Scheme 7: Heteroaryls

In yet another embodiment of the current disclosure, aryl halide 32 canbe coupled under Suzuki-Miyaura palladium catalyzed conditions to formthe heteroaryl derivative 34. Compound 34 can be elaborated to 35 bytreatment to hydrogenolytic conditions with hydrogen and a transitionmetal catalyst such as palladium on carbon (R¹³=benzyl). Acylation of 35can be accomplished with an appropriate acid chloride (R⁹COCl) in thepresence of a base such as triethylamine, with an appropriatelysubstituted carboxylic acid (R⁹CO₂H) in the presence of a standardcoupling reagent such as HATU, or with an isoscyanate (R²⁷NCO whereinR⁹═R²⁷R²⁸N—; R²⁸═H) or carbamoyl chloride (R²⁷R²⁸NCOCl whereinR⁹═R²⁷R²⁸N—). Compound 37 can be prepared from 36 (R¹²=t-Bu) viatreatment with strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid.Acylation of the resulting amine in 37 to give 38 can be accomplished asin the transformation of 35 to 36. In cases where R¹²═R¹³, 34 can bedirectly transformed into 39 by treatment with strong acid such as HClor trifluoroacetic acid (R¹²═R¹³=t-Bu) or by employing hydrogenolyticconditions with hydrogen and a transition metal catalyst such aspalladium on carbon (R¹²═R¹³=benzyl). Acylation of 39 can beaccomplished in analogous fashion to that described for thetransformation of 35 to 36.

Scheme 8

Heteroaryl chloride 29 can be converted to symmetrical analog 40 viatreatment with a source of palladium such as dichlorobis(benzonitrile)palladium in the presence of tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene at elevatedtemperature. Removal of the SEM ether and Boc carbamates found in 40 canbe accomplished in one step by treatment with a strong acid such as HClor trifluoroacetic acid providing 41.

Compound 43 (analogous to 42 wherein R₂₃=—CH(NHBoc)R₂₄) may beelaborated to 45, 46, and 47 via similar methodologies to thosedescribed in Scheme 3. In cases where R₂₀=alkoxymethyl (ie; SEM),removal can be accomplished simultaneously with removal of the Boccarbamate (cf; 43 to 44) using strong acid such as HCl ortrifluoroacetic acid.

Scheme 10: Starting Material 29

Heteroaryl bromides 54 may be reacted with a vinyl stannane such astributyl(1-ethoxyvinyl)tin in the presence of a source of palladium suchas dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) to provide 55 which canbe subsequently transformed into bromoketone 51 via treatment with asource of bromonium ion such as N-bormosuccinimide, CBr₄, or bromine.Alternatively, keto-substituted heteroaryl bromides 53 may be directlyconverted to 51 via treatment with a source of bromonium ion such asbromine, CBr₄, or N-bromosuccinimide. Bromide 51 can be converted toaminoketone 48 via addition of sodium azide, potassium phthalimide orsodium diformylamide (Synthesis 1990 122) followed by deprotection.Aminoketone 48 can then be coupled with an appropriately substitutedamino acid under standard amide formation conditions (i.e.; a couplingreagent such as HATU in the presence of a mild base such as Hunig'sbase) to provide 49. Compound 49 can then be further transformed intoimidazole 50 via reacting with ammonium acetate under thermal ormicrowave conditions. Alternatively, 51 can be directly reacted with anappropriately substituted amino acid in the presence of a base such assodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate providing 52 which can in turnbe reacted with ammonium acetate under thermal or microwave conditionsto provide 50. Imidazole 50 can be protected with an alkoxylmethyl groupby treatment with the appropriate alkoxymethyl halide such as2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl chloride after first being deprotonatedwith a strong base such as sodium hydride.

Substituted phenylglycine derivatives can be prepared by a number ofmethods shown below.

Hydrolysis of the t-butylester can be accomplished with strong acid such as HCl ortrifluoroacetic acid. Alternatively, phenylglycine can be alkylated withan alkyl halide such as ethyl iodide and a base such as sodiumbicarbonate or potassium carbonate (pathway B). Pathway C illustratesreductive alkylation of phenylglycine as in pathway A followed by asecond reductive alkylation with an alternate aldehyde such asformaldehyde in the presence of a reducing agent and acid. Pathway Dillustrates the synthesis of substituted phenylglycines via thecorresponding mandelic acid analogs. Conversion of the secondary alcoholto a competent leaving group can be accomplished with p-toluensulfonylchloride. Displacement of the tosylate group with an appropriate aminefollowed by reductive removal of the benzyl ester can providesubstituted phenylglycine derivatives. In pathway E a racemicsubstituted phenylglycine derivative is resolved by esterification withan enantiomerically pure chiral auxiliary such as but not limited to(+)-1-phenylethanol, (−)-1-phenylethanol, an Evan's oxazolidinone, orenantiomerically pure pantolactone. Separation of the diastereomers isaccomplished via chromatography (silica gel, HPLC, crystallization, etc)followed by removal of the chiral auxiliary providing enantiomericallypure phenylglycine derivatives. Pathway H illustrates a syntheticsequence which intersects with pathway E wherein the aforementionedchiral auxiliary is installed prior to amine addition. Alternatively, anester of an arylacetic acid can be brominated with a source of bromoniumion such as bromine, N-bromosuccinimide, or CBr₄. The resultant benzylicbromide can be displaced with a variety of mono- or disubstituted aminesin the presence of a tertiary amine base such as triethylamine orHunig's base. Hydrolysis of the methyl ester via treatment with lithiumhydroxide at low temperature or 6N HCl at elevated temperature providesthe substituted phenylglycine derivatives. Another method is shown inpathway G. Glycine analogs can be derivatized with a variety of arylhalides in the presence of a source of palladium (0) such as palladiumbis(tributylphosphine) and base such as potassium phosphate. Theresultant ester can then be hydrolyzed by treatment with base or acid.It should be understood that other well known methods to preparephenylglycine derivatives exist in the art and can be amended to providethe desired compounds in this description. It should also be understoodthat the final phenylglycine derivatives can be purified to enantiomericpurity greater than 98% ee via preparative HPLC.

The homogeneous mixture was stirred atroom temperature for 15 min before a precipitate was observed. Afterstirring further for 1.75 h, the suspension was diluted with ether andhexanes. Suction-filtration of a small portion of the suspension yieldedthe title compound as a yellow solid which was used for characterizationpurposes. The balance of the suspension was concentrated down to drynessand placed under high vacuum for 16 h. There was isolated the rest ofthe title compound also as a yellow solid (137.7 mg, 123%) which wasused without further purification.

Example D5 (S)-tert-butyl2-(5-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate

Bromine (0.54 mL, 10.6 mmol) was added dropwise to a cold (0° C.)solution of 4-bromo-2-fluoroacetophenone (2.30 g, 10.6 mmol) in dioxane(80 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (80 mL). The mixture was stirred for 1 h at0° C. and warmed to RT for 15 h. The mixture was diluted with ethylacetate, washed with saturated NaHCO₃ solution, 5% sodium thiosulfatesolution and brine prior to drying (Na₂SO₄).2-Bromo-1-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)ethanone (D1) was isolated as acolorless film which solidified upon further concentration under highvacuum. This solid was dissolved into anhydrous acetonitrile (50 mL) andtreated with N-Boc-L-proline (2.28 g, 10.6 mmol) anddiisopropylethylamine (1.85 mL, 10.6 mmol). After being stirred for 3 hat RT, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was partitionedinto ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was washed with 0.1Nhydrochloric acid, saturated NaHCO₃ solution and brine prior to drying(Na₂SO₄), filtration, and concentration. This residue was taken up inxylenes (50 mL) and treated to solid NH₄OAc (4.1 g, 53.0 mmol). Themixture was heated at 140° C. for 2 hr in a thick-walled, screw-topflask before it was cooled to ambient temperature, diluted with ethylacetate and washed with saturated NaHCO₃ solution and brine prior todrying (Na₂SO₄) and concentration. Purification of the residue byBiotage™ flash chromatography on silica gel (65M column,preequilibration with 16% B for 1800 mL followed by gradient elutionwith 16% B to 16% B for 450 mL, 16% B to 50% B for 2199 ml and finally50% B to 100% B for 2199 mL) afforded title compound (D5) (3.61 g, 83%)as a brownish/caramel-colored oil. A small portion (40 mg) of the titlecompound was further purified by preparative HPLC (20% B to 100% B over14 min where B is 10 mM NH₄OAc in 10:90 H₂O/ACN and A is 10 mM NH₄OAc in95:5 H₂O/CAN using a Phenomenex-Gemini 30×100 mm S10 column flowing at40 mL/min) to afford pure title compound (31.8 mg) as a white solid.

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

An HCV Replion assay was utilized in the present disclosure, and wasprepared, conducted and validated as described in commonly ownedPCT/US2006/022197 and in O'Boyle et. al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother.2005 April; 49(4):1346-53.

HCV 1b-377-neo replicon cells were used to test the currently describedcompound series as well as cells resistant to compound A due to a Y2065Hmutation in NS5A (described in application PCT/US2006/022197). Thecompounds tested were determined to have more than 10-fold lessinhibitory activity on cells resistant to compound A than wild-typecells indicating a related mechanism of action between the two compoundseries. Thus, the compounds of the present disclosure can be effectiveto inhibit the function of the HCV NS5A protein and are understood to beas effective in combinations as previously described in applicationPCT/US2006/022197 and commonly owned WO/O4014852. Further, the compoundsof the present disclosure can be effective against the HCV 1b genotype.It should also be understood that the compounds of the presentdisclosure can inhibit multiple genotypes of HCV. Table 2 shows the EC50values of representative compounds of the present disclosure against theHCV 1b genotype. In one embodiment compounds of the present disclosureare active against the 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 4a, and 5a genotypes. EC50ranges against HCV 1b are as follows: A=1-10 μM; B=100-999 nM; C=1-99nM; and D=10-999 pM.

The compounds of the present disclosure may inhibit HCV by mechanisms inaddition to or other than NS5A inhibition. In one embodiment thecompounds of the present disclosure inhibit HCV replicon and in anotherembodiment the compounds of the present disclosure inhibit NS5A.
